Because of the actions of one madman, Gov. Dannel P. Malloy believes Connecticut residents are not responsible enough to own certain types of firearms. He has proposed more gun-control measures, but around the same time, he said these same guns can still be manufactured in Connecticut, for sale out of state.

It could be that Gov. Malloy, like Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., "misspoke." It could be that the governor thinks out-of-state criminals and madmen are somehow more law-abiding and less mentally impaired than those in Connecticut.

" Hey, you know what? Shame on the Republicans for not running a more to the center candidate. I was not thrilled with Malloy and would have went the other way if the republicans had put forth a more paletable guy.

The election was close, real close, and it wouldn't have taken too many swing votes to change the results. But Foley's hard line anti-union, anti-poor rhetoric kept me on the left side on the fence.

The state was in a big financial hole. Yeah, there was a democratic legislature but there were also two Republican governors that got us to that spot. Taxes, like it or not had to be adjusted upwards. Foley's no tax increase just wasn't fair or honest or logical to me. "
